He WAS TOLD TO SKIP.

The Lincoln County Times says that
Kew. Mr.. Sherrod, minister of the gospel
in Lincoln county, W. T., has been told
:'to skip" for slanderiug the lambs Of
his flock. The burden Of his song
seemed to be to the effect that the sisters
would fall in love with him; that when
ever opportunity offered, they would
make improper advances; that he had
been compelled to kick two prominent
and highly respected lady members of
bis flock from his bed, etc. On another
occasion he visited certain farm house
and finding the head of the house away
from home, suggested that it would be a
good opportunity to stay all night. The
lady didn't see it in that light, and went
for his reverend ribs with butcher
knife.

The Presidents Tour.

1t is said that one difficulty in the
arrangement OF the programme for
the presidents trip to 81. Louis ard
other points in the West, arises from
the desire of the president to avoid
travelling at night as far as possible.
It is understood that Mrs. Cleveland
dislikes night on the car very much
so that the president wishes to ar
range his extended trip this autumn
so as to inconvenience Mrs. Cleve-
land in this respect as little as possi-
BILE, and it is thought he will try and
arrange to stop over night as fre.
quently as possible. This arrange
ment will work decidedly to the ad-
vantage of smaller towns, as in map
ping out his programme the presi-
dent will aim to cut the trip up into
journeys of ten or fifteen hours dura-
tion. OF course he can easily run up
to Kansas City IN the daytime, SO
that no night journey betweea st.
Louis aud the Western metropolis
OF the State will be required. From
Kansas City to Omaha he can again
make the trip during the daytime,
but the jump from Omaha to st.
Paul cannot be SO easily arranged
without passing at least one night on
the cars.-St. Louis Republicans.
The president can leave st. Louis
in the morning, spend two hours in
Mexico and still arrive at Kansas
City by sundown.

fayorile in the pools the night be-
fore, it was evident after the first
heat started that Billy Ford, the lit
tie sol'rell gelding from Wahoo, was
the winner. He led off from the
first, and seemingly had a waIk-over,
except in the last heat, when Belle
Kidder pushed him, coming under

der's driver claimed this heat ON foul
driving, but after half hours de-
liberation, the judges gave the race
to the sorrel. Belle Kidder had
second place in the race.
In the pacing race, four starters,

The Sultan of Turkey is hayi

The Sultan of Turkey is having
more or less trouble with the lights
OF his harem. In fact, his numerous
wives are practically on a strike.
They bring Two serious charges
against their lord. In the first place,
he has forbidden them to bathe in
the large marble basin in the garden
a prerogative they have.enioyed from
time immemorial. As If this were
not despotic enough, he has imported
from Spain a "Christiau woman" to
add to the pleasing variety of his
domestic establishment. Outside of
all considerations Of personal ieal-
ousy, the Sultan's native wives are
shocked and angered at his lack OF
Mahometan loyalty. Altogether, bis
Oriental Majesty seems to occupy a,
present a most unenviabie position.
Imagine q curtain lecture delivered
oy a score or more Of angry women
sHell has. no fury like a woman
scorned," says the poet. Unluck,

protect their property and who are
now blaming him for such state of
affairs should know that he was not
teven notified that the hose had been
loaned, much less was he asked II be
had any to spare. This attempt,
and it is not the first one which has
been made, to embarrass the Fire
Company may result seriously some
time and we propose for the blame
to rest where it belongs,
